Snow smiled, "I see your upgrade and raise you this!" Her horn glew a mighty bright white, and her armor and body seemingly disentgrated, leaving a white glowing version of Snow, it was her very essence of her power. "You see Caesar, I am no ordinary unicorn, I do not use the common magic. I am the one and only master of Essence Magic, the most ancient and powerful of them all!" She said in an echoy voice that had vast power behind it. "In history, singluar Essence Unicorn have been able to bring down mighty empires, kill the most powerful of ponies, but all pale in comparision to MY level of mastery!" The essence glew extremely bright once more and when it faded, an alicorn of the same size of Caesar was revealed, "This is were you fall, by the same way of many before you. One Essence Master who is able to utizilize the power of the essence's AROUND their own. Do you feel weaker? Because every moment we speak, I gain more power from you, and you lose it, along with your little lapdog Legate over there." The essence said in a voice that was no longer reconizable as Snow's, but sounded much older and deeper, and much more powerful. This was the true power of Essence Magic, right in front of their eyes, so much power in one spot that if an unprepared mind looked into it, it would be fried.
Masquerade stepped back, and sneaked to the legate. He poked him slightly with the card, smiling. "Excuse me, Lord Venquis, But since we are no longuer enemies, and that i'm officialy neutral in this conflict, i have nothin to fear from the imperials? I mean, i had killed Imperial soldiers. I should've been arested, and faced death sentance or jail, or am i wrong?"
Venquis knew that this was a trap. "As Commander of Caesars imperial empire, your crimes are hearby forgiven." Venquis said to Masquerade. "However, im afraid i cant let you leave just yet, lord Kaisar is about to make history and i reconmend that you should witness it."
Grey Mane perched herself deeper into the tree. She then levitated over a few berries. Weather or not they were poisonous mattered not. She has eaten these sort of stuff for years. "If they dont come soon I will come to them..."
Meanwhile Robin was gathering his crew of archers on the Walls surrounding Caesars palace. "everypony, once the order is given by the people on the inside we shall fire" Robin said it softly as to not arouse suspicion. Cobra then ordered his men to silently take out the rooftop archers of the palace.
Even still smiling happily, a small sweat drop appeared on Masquerade's forehead. "Oh, i never meant to leave, Lord Venquis, but i did meant that i deserved some kind of punishment. You see, since i was young, i've been told to always assume my errors, and go through what i deserved. That's probably why my parents died on the electric chair. But, i've got faith in their words, and, after this historical afrontment, i shall be banished from the Imperial territory. Isn't that a fair judgement?"
"Oh history is about to be made, with your very own Caesar all right, but it isn't the history that YOU want!" the Essence exclaimed. Hundreds of magical tentacles suddenly shot out from the essence and it was wrapped in a magical bubble. "Let's get this party started!" it said, swinging a tentacle, slamming into Caesar. When he looked at the wound, his armor was literally melting off and any unprotected skin was severely burnt. (That is in the impact area at least)
Caesar looked at the mark. Even through his armor was burnt, he regenerated his wounds easily. He Bucked Snow in the stomach, sending her hundreds of meters down the temple. When snow was on the ground in pain, lightning and fire spread around Caesar. He was nearly untouchable and drasticly overpowered. Venquis looked down at Masquerade. He could tell that Masquerade was in fear. "If that is your demand, then shall be it." He looked at Caesar, who was laughing like a maniac. "If you try and stop Kaisar, then death would come quickly for you." Venquis warned to Masquerade
"Why would i stop our emperor? How could i explain you... Well, Did you knew why no one pays me in gold?"
The essence got up shakingly at the bottom of the stairs, no blood though, essence's don't bleed, they don't have bones, they're almost like sentient magic. "Oh, so that's how you want to play eh?" it said, "Well, two can play at that game." While Caesar was distracted, the essence flew back up the stairs and right before it slammed into Ceasar, it fired a concussion spell that would have killed any normal pony, but sent Caesar flying into the air. (Don't worry, if I find that the essence has taken enough damage, it will revert back to regular Snow. Damage just can't really show on beings that don't acually have solid bodies.)
Caesar flew back into the air. This attack had managed to hurt him but just shook it off like nothing happened. ' I find your strength quite ammusing Snow, to bad that it's noware near to my level.' Caesar said to Snow. Caesars fire mane began to grow and became brighter. Magic had surounded his horn, and he fired a large beam into the sky above. Everypony looked up at the sky, it was quiet for a few minutes but then a the magic suddenly fell onto the thundermanes like comets. During the middle of this, Caesars horn began to grow bright again, this was going to be a big finisher to this battle. Venquis was getting tired of Masquerade. "This discussion is getting tireing. Ive made you a good deal, do you want to take it and leave or let the Centurions take care of you" Venquis said in a frustrated tone (Warn me if Caesars attacks are overpowered)
(Well, the main reason I did the whole essence thing was to balance it out, to make it a fair fight. But, I think I know how to make this a big finisher to the story, if you'll let me. I'll give you a hint: With Victory, come Sacrifice.)
(Prepare for epicness) The essence saw what Caesar was doing, and one thought came through its mind, There's only one way. The essence glew immensly bright and started flying towords Caesar at fimnominal speeds, "You want power? I'LL GIVE YOU POWER!!!" It yelled before slamming into Caesar. A bright flash, an explosion, and they were gone, while a wave of white magic spread across the land, implanting these final words in everypony's mind: It is done, With Victory comes Sacrifice, Caesar is dead, destroyed, gone from this realm. We are brethren, there is no more need to fight, I, Snow Mark, have made the ultimate sacrifice for all of Ponykind, this is the last anypony will ever here from me. The Imperial City lies in ruins, Caesar is dead, I am dead, the world is ravagened from this war. It is time to unify under one banner to rebuild, one for the common good of the whole. With Victory, comes Sacrifice. May Equestria live for eternity. And it was over. (I'll let y'all decide what happens next)
(I'm pretty good with beginning stories and giving them juicy endings, but the middle, I always need help with.)
(Ok,Caesar is dead. Now for Venquis) Venquis looked at the explosion,his master was no more. Defeated and helpless,he walked out the Temple without a word. He was never seen again.
(And now with the Epilogue? There's still characters alive.) The explosion was so powerfull that Masquerade flew a few feets before hitting his head on a column. He felt uncouscious. He woke up a few moments later. No sign of Snow and Ceasar. He slowly stood up at the center of the ruins, and looked around him. Still disoriented by the shock, he took his time to breathe and take back the control of his mind. His cracked mask falled, and broke. "Snow? Ceasar? Venquis? Is someone still here?" He sighed, and walked away.
( And now to finish the Rp.) The War ended as quickly as it begun. The Imperial Empire, without the support of Caesar and a substantial leader, collapsed under the ruins of the Imperial City. In Canterlot, the actions of Snow and Masquerade were not forgotten. 2 weeks after Snow sacrifised herself, a Statue of her was erected in the center of the Canterlots town square. Her last words placed under the statue. She would become a famous character in a story, in thousands of years to come. Masquerade was given the highest metal that any Thundermane could recieve. The legendary 'Metal of Equestria'. He too had a statue constructed of him. What happened after the War was unknown, but it was believed it had all worked out in the end for him. The Thundermanes quickly established power across Equestria. Equestria would now rule under one flag. The Imperial Equestria simply ceased to exist and most traces of any remanents of Imperial Soliders were wiped out. Caesar was believed to be dead. It is unknown if he was killed or placed in a different dimention. But he would not return for Dozens of Century', and when and if he comes back. He would come back with Dark Plague, The God of Nightmares. Venquis left the Imperial City in shame, he is believed to have died while wondering Equestria. In the End, The Citys began to thrive again. Civil war would not happen for many thousands of years in the future. The Story is written down for the future generations. But the tale of this event would simply not end, it is yet another chapter that was not forgoten. What happens next, only time could tell...... The End. ( I want to give a massive thankyou to Snow and Saul, i could not have gotten this up and running without you guys. And anybody else who wanted to join, i owe you one as well. This could be a start of a series, but i want feedback if i should do just that.)
(Ready anytime. This Rp was awesome, and it has a great potential. If you continue this, i shall write a whole book on Ceasar and his reign.)
